Borders

"A boy and his mother get caught between the American and Canadian border when they refuse to deny their Blackfoot citizenship. Don’t look for front matter. Don’t look for back matter. Don’t search for an author’s note or explanation. The kids who pick up this graphic novel will just have to read through the book and then sit and think about it for a while. These characters calmly refuse to claim themselves as either Canadians or Americans, throwing the world around them into chaos. A powerful story of identity and standing up for yourself. (For ages 8 to 12)"
